When Roy Tackett moved to Albuquerque in 1962, fandom there did not exist. He later remembered, "As far as I knew, there wasn't any stf activity in Albuquerque, so I did the only thing that was possible: I took out ads in the SF magazines asking for anyone interested in forming a stfclub to contact me. I got letters from Chicago and Boston, but nary a nibble from Albuquerque."
